"1979
Australian Chronicle with Captain Beefheart on Tin Can Records TCR-2003. This
Frank Zappa bootleg has a really nice sleeve with a fine colour picture of Frank
- it also has labels with silver on black writing saying Kimber Records - but
unfortunately the tracks mentioned on the labels bear no relation to what is on
each side! All the tracks are there, I think, but in different order. I once
listened to it all and made detailed notes but sadly I lost them. On the back it
says P&C 1979 Tin Can Records ..., and the tracks are subdivided into 1)
studio outtakes 2) media (radio) and 3) live. The live cuts are some New Jersey
'75 Zappa with Peon, Alice In Blunderland and Willie The Pimp with of course
Beefheart on vocals - but did Zappa perform Peon and Alice In Blunderland on the
'75 tour? The studio session, L.A. 1964-77 include Leave Me Alone and Somebody's
Walking (from I assume Beefheart's '66 Avalon Ballroom shows (broadcast or
audience tapes) - or even perhaps these were rejected demos for the first album
they were supposed to do for A&M Records), the four known Safe As Milk
alternate version and Beefheart singing 200 Years Old - but the most interesting
is the Trout Mask Replica outtake of Orange Claw Hammer - I think this has Frank
Zappa on guitar with Don Vliet singing along and the feel of this version is
totally different from the one issued."
